I'm definitely in the 99.9%, which is more like 99.9999999%. In other words, I doubt there's even 10 people on the planet that would survive that scenario.

There is a short story, by Arthur C Clarke I believe, where aliens rescue the consciousness of a human astronaut after a catastrophe. They explain that they have the technological means to rebuild him a body, but they need him to describe the blueprint to them.

It made me aware of how unlikely I'd be to ever get it right.
